Local crime reporter Kevin Taylor reports on the indictments in the Mendiola case. Many of the details remain spotty. As relates to the daughters -- the last call from Brendan Butler's cell phone was to a number listed to Gioconda Mendiola. But it turns out that the family "bought cell phones in bulk" and, "to simplify billing," listed all in Gio's name.

So, after some initial investigation, the investigators concluded that the sisters had no connection to the murder or the drug ring.

This article from the UW student paper describes the rollercoaster emotional ride that Husky fans and Mendiola friends have been on since the indictment.
